Ventura 13.5.1

I upgraded to Ventura 13.5.1 today. Safari stalls or crashes or is very slow - same with chrome. Other apps stall as well. I have some games that crash upon opening. This didn't happen last night - only after I upgraded. I've tried working in safe mode, but everything seems very slow. Can I go back to 13.5? How?

Thanks very much for your response. After booting up in safe mode, things were still moving rather slowly. So I restarted in normal mode and everything went back to normal! (magic) I had forgotten about EtreCheck - have used it before. Thanks for the reminder!

Yes you could but understand this will involve Wiping the Entire Drive to zero data on the computer.


Then reinstalling a brand new version of Ventura 13.5 from an external Source


It is suggest before going that route >>


To avoid the question / answer and question answer scenario


Download the Application Etrecheck directly from the Developer.


This is a Diagnostic Tool that makes no changes to the computer.


It makes a coherent and readable inventory of both the Hardware and Software used on the computer 


The application is free or paid for added features.
